Word On The Street

Joke Issue: Thoughts by Cholly Knickerbocker Yesterday evening, in what can only be proclaimed as an offense against my rather placid senses, a certain co–resident of mine — a man who we in the Quadrangle are ashamed to call one of our own, although he shall remain unnamed — disdained me for foregoing the traditional shirt and cummerbund combination in favor of the slightly marvelous backless waistcoats, seen on Savile Row this past year.

Joke Issue: Young Lady On Locust: Who’s General Franco? Other Young Lady On Locust: He’s trying to free the Mexicans, of course! Dashing Young Dandy: I mockingly asked her to, you know, be my Mata Hari, and she blushed and asked me to leave … When did women get so puritannical? Less Dashing Dandy: When they stopped wearing corsets. Fraternity Brother: Syphilis doesn't exist.

11:45 p.m.: Leave Blarney. Almost soil myself with excitement at the thought of yet another Tuesday night with Kweder.

Toasts & Roasts: 4.22.10

Fling is intense. Highbrow commends any pre or post Fling drinking, because damn, that’s baller. The Tuesday after Fling, Friars drank and chalked. Props for drinking a mere two days after Fling.

True Life

Last summer, like many a College student, I needed cash. After exhausting my PennLink opportunities, I expanded my search to Craigslist.

True Life

I’m a person who has a highly regimented poop schedule. Here’s the way it works. I try to poop before I go to bed, but that usually doesn’t work.

True Life

The best thing about joining a sorority was that I got 150 new sisters. My Facebook friend count became enviably high overnight.

It is sad, but it is true: I have two differently sized feet. Now I know what you must be thinking, ew, gross!

True Life

I’m bored of Van Pelt. I don’t want to Rosenparty, I just want to get my work done. But I’ve exhausted my alternative study spots.

True Life

I want to leave my mark on the world. And frequently I do, with a chisel tip paint pen. There’s no bigger rush than scrawling my tag on a clean-painted surface, staking my claim on mailboxes and traffic signs right under the noses of oblivious passers-by.

True Life

Last week, I took part in the massive disappointment known as Restaurant Week. Tempted by tapas at an affordable price, I seized the opportunity to dine at a restaurant where my student-sized wallet might not usually be so welcome.

WTF?

Although we at Street tend to be know-it-alls about everything cool, sometimes we just have to say, “WTF, mate?” Maybe you’ve gotten a Facebook invite to one of their downtown parties; maybe the suave Italian boy in designer jeans has dropped the name during your history class.
